More and more coaches hear and see the benefits first hand that playing Futsal has on their young soccer players. This is evident in the United States, at large, and in Massachusetts, in particular, by the growing number of leagues, teams and players who are subscribing to the training and competitions offered by the numerous
USFF sanctioned futsal leagues.
In July of 2005 the Massachusetts Futsal Association was represented by 14 teams that qualified for the United States Futsal Federation 20th Annual NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS and came away with some very impressive results.
Five Massachusetts futsal teams came away from the national championships held in Anaheim, California as medalists, placing among the top three teams in the country in their respective age division and two teams were crowned national champions.
The success our state enjoys at the national level speaks for itself. We are very proud of the commitment these teams have made to ascend to the top of the national standings within the United States Futsal Federation. The establishment of a substantial and legitimate leagues such as the Catholic Youth Futsal League, Essex
County Futsal, Fall River Futsal, Norfolk County Futsal and the recently established Boston Futsal League, serving the greater Boston metropolitan area, serve to demonstrate the desire that a growing number of players have to play the sport of Futsal and also solidifies the acknowledgment of more and more coaches and club
owners who are coming to understand the fantastic skills that players are developing while playing futsal.
The Massachusetts Futsal Association is the local representative of the United States Futsal Federation (USFF), which under the banner of United States Soccer, is the national governing body for Futsal in the United States.
